Superior Court Judge David Horwitz immediately sentenced Leonard Avalos to 90 days in county jail and three years probation, according to Deputy District Attorney Fernando Guzman.
The judge also ordered Avalos to pay just over $30,000 in restitution to the LAPD's Fiscal Operations Division by Dec. 15.

More than $30,000 was disbursed to Avalos to relocate three crime victims who were eligible for the witness-protection program, according to the prosecutor. Only one of the victims was relocated. The theft occurred between Feb. 15 and June 20, 2008, while Avalos was assigned to the LAPD's Southwest Detective Division.
